...marriage is currently defined, homosexuals do technically possess the right to marry, as they are fully permitted to wed a member of the opposite sex. Obviously, this definition is flawed: It defines a relationship in terms of reproduction??sterile couples being the lone contradiction—rather than love, and it ought to be revised. Nonetheless, it is important to acknowledge that permitting same-sex marriage is indeed a redefinition of marriage...
...very reason that Shvarts would have needed to take abortifacient drugs each month if this project did take place—because unprotected sex leads to pregnancy.Shvarts knows this of course. Summing up the crux of her argument—that there is a mistaken conflation of sex and reproduction??she wrote, “It is the intention of this piece to destabilize the locus of that authorial act [of sex for reproduction], and in doing so, reclaim it from the heteronormative structures that seek to naturalize it.” This is the sort of jargon...

While self-satirization through frenetic reproduction??as demonstrated by emergent movements at the end of the 1970s like photo-realism—remains a continual theme in the avant-garde art world, rock and roll has lost its sense of humor. The creation of MTV turned rock songs themselves into commercials, and the 1990s have seen the increasing importance of commercial success to rock and roll. At the beginning of the decade, athletes endorsed soft drinks; now that honor goes to Britney Spears. As seen by the reaction of the musical community to the current American war effort...
